Requesting NVIDIA driver update

eric0d

Could someone from the Solus team update the NVIDIA driver because Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced requires the latest version of the driver to function properly.

Package request should be filed on github, please read it here.

We are on version 570.169 , what is the latest version number that you need? Please include that in the request. Thanks.

If you absolutely need the newest driver branch (new feature branch, at version 575), it's currently in the nvidia-beta-driver packages. I might soon suggest to switch it over to the main driver package though, but we've been bitten by bugs in the new feature branch several times in recent months, so tend to stick closer to the production branch (which is at version 570).

Hey, can you please guide me on how to switch to the beta branch? I really need this to get into GTA V Enchanted and start playing ASAP. Thanks a ton!” 😎🎮

eric0d sudo eopkg it nvidia-beta-driver-current nvidia-beta-driver-32bit and then restart, assuming you use the default linux-current kernel.

If you use linux-lts, replace nvidia-beta-driver-current with nvidia-beta-driver in the above command.
